another week in the books

Another week much like the last. Lots of friends and family cycling through so missing a few workouts. No worries here of course. That said, it's hard to get in good mountaineering training when you are here at the Shore. I did manage to get up about 4:40 this morning and walk the Island. That's a first (though I have done this run before). Here is the Garmin data from the walk:

About Me

I'm 59 years old and live in Greenville, DE with my awesome wife of 30+ years, Judy. We have four kids: Anders, Jenny, Kara and Alex.
Long ago, I was a runner and at one point ran a 2:48 marathon. Family and career intervened and I have been a triathlete for the past 14 years. I've raced in 146 triathlons, of which 35+ have been Long Course. Thirteen of these have been IronMan races including Kona in 2010, 2012, and 2014.
I'm racing on borrowed time as I have a very bad left knee that requires me to get Syn-Visc injections every 3 months. My ortho is a good man but wishes I'd take up golf.
However, I am blessed to be pursuing my triathlon dreams alongside my son, Anders. We've had some fantastic experiences together in Australia, Spain, France, Austria and Denmark as well as in many places in the States. In the beginning, I was the teacher but more and more it is I who have become the student. I've certainly dropped to the number 2 triathlete in the household. I couldn't be happier and I am truly blessed to race Ironman and other triathlons alongside my son, at least for a few more years!
